Sovia — Ghost Job Detector | Verified Job Applications

Detect ghost (fake) job listings instantly. Apply to verified-real jobs on 11+ ATS platforms. Proof of every apply.

You did everything right. Tailored the resume. Wrote the cover letter. Applied to hundreds of jobs. Heard nothing. Turns out 27% of those listings were never real. They're called ghost jobs - posted to intimidate current employees, meet compliance quotas, or just collect resumes with zero intention of hiring. 45% of HR professionals admit to doing this regularly. On top of that, 75% of real applications get no human response at all. The average job seeker sends 294 applications before landing one offer. Nothing is wrong with you. The system is broken. Sovia shows you which jobs are real, fills applications to the verified ones, and captures screenshot proof that every submission actually landed. WHAT SOVIA DOES Four things that work together. No other tool combines all four. 1. GHOST JOB DETECTOR (Free) Every listing you view gets a ghost score - red, orange, yellow, or green badge based on 19 weighted signals. Hover over any badge and you'll see exactly why it was flagged: "Posted 97 days ago. No salary range. Reposted 3 times. Company has 40% ghost rate." The signals cover posting age, salary transparency, repost frequency, company ghost history, job description length, qualification-to-seniority mismatch, ATS platform patterns, and more. Red means likely ghost - don't waste your time. Green means actively hiring. Once you start seeing these badges, you can't go back to browsing blind. Completely free. No account needed. Works on every major job board. 2. SMART JOB MATCHING (Free, limited) Sovia scans thousands of listings and cuts them down to the ones that are actually real and actually match your background. Typical result: "2,340 jobs reviewed. 847 ghost jobs removed. 412 skill mismatches removed. Here are your 14 verified matches." Instead of scrolling through pages of irrelevant or fake postings, you get a short list of roles worth your time. 3. SMART APPLY ($29/mo - or 3 free per day) Found a real match? Sovia fills the application form using your profile. Name, contact info, work history, education, skills - you enter it all once, and it gets applied everywhere. Works across 11+ Applicant Tracking Systems, including what 80%+ of Fortune 500 companies use. The extension figures out which ATS a company runs, adapts to its form layout, and fills every field correctly. You review everything before it goes out. Every answer, every field, every attachment. Nothing gets submitted without your say-so. For open-ended questions, Smart Apply generates answers based on your actual profile and the specific job description. No cookie-cutter responses. No made-up experience. New users get 7 days of full Pro features. After that, free users can still Smart Apply to 3 jobs per day. 4. SCREENSHOT PROOF OF EVERY APPLICATION After you submit, Sovia captures a timestamped screenshot of the confirmation page. "Thank you for applying" - captured, dated, stored in your dashboard. You can see every application you've sent: company, role, date, and the screenshot proving it went through. Nobody else in this space does this. Weekly summary: "34 applications this week. 34 verified-real jobs. 0 ghost jobs. Here's your proof." These records are timestamped and exportable - useful for personal tracking, and especially for OPT/visa holders who need application documentation for USCIS compliance (more on that below). WHY SOVIA IS DIFFERENT Job boards show listings but won't tell you which ones are fake. Autofill extensions fill forms but don't check if the job is real. Resume tools polish your application but can't prove it was submitted. Sovia is the only product that puts ghost detection, application filling, and submission proof in one place. Things nobody else offers: - Ghost detection is built into the apply flow. You'll never accidentally spend 20 minutes applying to a listing that was never real. - Each application gets its own email alias, so you can track exactly which employers respond and which stay silent. - Every submission comes with a timestamped screenshot. Exportable. Verifiable. - Your applications feed back into the ghost scoring model - the more people use Sovia, the sharper the detection gets. - Workday actually works. 37% of enterprise jobs run on it. Most tools choke on it. Sovia doesn't. ATS PLATFORMS SUPPORTED Smart Apply works on: Greenhouse, Workday, Ashby - and almost all other major ATS systems (added regularly) The extension auto-detects which ATS a company uses. Nothing to configure. Ghost detection works on all major job boards regardless of ATS - LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, company career pages, you name it. WHO THIS IS FOR If you're doing everything right and getting silence back, this was built for you. Applying to dozens of roles a week? You know how much time goes into typing the same info over and over. Sovia fills those forms in seconds so you can spend your energy on the roles that actually matter. On an OPT or F1 visa? You've got 90 days to find a sponsoring employer or face deportation. Sovia targets verified-real, visa-sponsoring companies and creates timestamped application records you can use for USCIS compliance documentation. The 90-Day Pass ($149) matches your visa clock - no monthly renewals rubbing it in. Bootcamp grad? You sank $10,000-20,000 into career training. You shouldn't be wasting applications on ghost listings posted to pad a company's hiring numbers. Laid off from tech? You've got the skills and the experience. You've sent 200 applications and heard nothing. Sovia shows you how many of those were ghosts, and makes sure every future application is verified real, properly submitted, and documented. Changing careers or returning to work? You've got enough uncertainty already. At minimum, you should know whether your application actually arrived. PRICING Free: Ghost Job Detector on every listing.
